When Consciousness goes through our nervous system, it creates a version of ourselves. Or it's creating some of the projections of thought in terms of past and future. Who unconscious consciousness goes through our nervous system and, and there's no distortion by thought, then it's sort of our original Light Body version of ourself, our original trajectory. So the field of consciousness is the field of consciousness, but then it sort of interacts with the field of thought, which could be actually stored in the body. So those thoughts, those words are stored in our body in our DNA, they're going through our nervous system, and, and they're distorting the original consciousness, which is love. And the level of the thought is sort of what determines the level of consciousness. But normally, we just let this process go on, we don't see what we're doing. I feel like that Universal Consciousness is spontaneity. But thought, bad is the thing that stops us, there's like that spontaneous energy. And then the thought comes in, and explains it away. And then explain something in our own voice that we feel is us in order to remain consistent, and to not actually experience more of the spectrum of consciousness. And normally, we try to actually erase our state by having better thoughts, but really thought is still interrupting that spontaneous energy. So there's a difference between being in a state of joy, being in a spontaneous state of joy and thinking something joyful. Whereas if we were in a spontaneous state of joy, we might think something joyful. And since manic consciousness is so spontaneous and joyful, but most of society and people aren't that way, it can seem rather odd. It's like being spontaneous and joyful for no reason. And the no reason part is the part that is somewhat disturbing. But it's reasons that actually prevent spontaneous joy. Because reason is thought. And on the scale of consciousness of Dr. David Hawkins reason is actually below. Joy. I watched a quick Bernie brown clip, as you said, is rarely the response that helps it's the connection. Responses words, what is connection? Something more subtle than the words you would think that the words would be more powerful because they're actually something. A connection might just be a look in the eyes or a touch on the shoulder. I wrote down that the ego is preoccupation. Or we preoccupied with the past and the future. Why aren't we occupied with the now? The preoccupation is in the prefrontal cortex. We're preoccupied with our own prefrontal cortex. And we're missing all of this. And then some, some of us get connected with this and mania map consciousness. We're like, Oh, my God, look where I am in the most beautiful place in the universe. And then regular consciousness people come and say new. No, no, you're just crazy. We're gonna go back to our prefrontal cortex and so should you. Map consciousness is like a giant sound check. Like one can hear the sound of love the voice of love, one can feel the love that makes all of us grow and all the plants grow. It's the love that made sense all its life. I was reading a little bit about the Meisner technique and acting and sounds kind of like embodied mania in a way because it's like, just do it. Don't act like you're doing it, do it. And it seems like people need to be more like that in reality I could create some games to illustrate embodied mania. I thought of a game called yes mania. Because there's that movie Yes, man. Yes, mania. What would a manic person do? And in the training he talked about as you train, the acting comes not from the head, but from impulses. So it's almost like he was trying to train impulses back into people. But we've pretty much in society determined that impulses aren't good. Because those often could be out of alignment with consistency. But life perhaps is built on impulses, impulses, spontaneity. And he also talked about how good acting comes from the heart. There is no mentality in it. That's what I wonder with embodied mania is if good living comes from the heart. If there's no mentality in it, I think with map consciousness, the universe is provoking us to perform, to get in touch with our instincts, our spontaneity. We need to act from the heart and not mentalize everything. Feel like normal people have mental eyes, eyes blocked by their own mentation and abstractions. We need to have heart based eyes and have more heartache than instead of mentation. I think heart station is a term for thinking, seeing and perceiving with the heart. And for that one has to see through one's own meditationes, the heart is likely seeing things as they are now and the mind is saying reasons. from the past. I think I already talked about how I saw that when you hear and see something that it's active learning. Whereas if you just read something, it's passive learning. So I'm definitely engaged in active learning with myself. I was thinking about empathy, plus empowerment. And I think the two together equal seeing somebody possibility. Working in mental health, I have a lot of empathy for people. But I think that I get stuck there because I lack the empowerment factor, being able to empower somebody. And perhaps it's because I don't see the possibility is much like within the mental health system. So I think by by switching to something more empowering, I'll be able to support people to see possibility for themselves more so than if they remain in the mainstream paradigm. I also realized that this energy, this extra energy of map consciousness, wants to love and learn. Feel I just need to keep unfolding possibility in the spirit of love and learning. I haven't really talked about the fly video that I made. I called it the fly whisperer. And a bunch of flies hang out with me on a coconut for like an hour. And at the time, I really felt like it was an important happening in my life because it sort of showed that at a certain level of consciousness, when really is one with all of life to the point where life isn't afraid of itself. Life isn't afraid of life. And it doesn't matter what the form of life it is because some of those flies knew that I wasn't going to squash them because I wasn't I wasn't afraid of them. I wasn't grossed out by them. I wasn't judging them. I was curious about them. I was playing with them. I was interested in them. I respected them. I feel love towards them. I thought they were cute. And I was interested in their dynamics. Seems like that's when my brain started working that way. Just realize that we are that consciousness or not the ego me. And that one consciousness can animate us or we can be distorted by the personal ego. That personal ego distortion has created this whole complex mess of society. Feel like mental illnesses actually distress of the heart. Like the heart is perceiving now, how far are we, the mind has moved from the heart. From the hearts desires. It's like a calling of synchronicity. It's almost like synchronicity is increased coincidences in order for one to get back on the path of the heart, because if one was to rely on the mind, and its plans and its goals, one would only end up way further away from one's heart. So the heart beats in a certain way to create synchronicity to reacquaint one with the magic of life as opposed to the distress of mentalization. And it's like mental illness is like light club, we've been told not to talk about light cloud, we've been told not to talk about our experiences or invite our inner light. Maybe we need to talk about that light. And psychosis is like virtual actuality. We have virtual reality stuff now. But psychosis is like virtual actuality. It's, it's like virtual reality. But in actuality, I feel like bipolar is like playing out of bounds. It's going out of bounds of consciousness out of the bounds of what we're allowed to experience in consciousness. We have these inner boundaries. And when we go outside of those, that territory seems scary, because it's something unrecognizable, it's something we haven't experienced before. So medications are a way of keeping us from going out of bounds. When in baseball, the object of the game is to hit the ball out of bounds could be the same with life. Because the boundaries are our limits that have been imposed upon us. And we stay within those limits because of fear. And then if we go out of the limits, generally, we're told that something that we should fear when it could be love itself, that pushes us out of bounds. I listened to Dr. Daniel Fisher's talk that he gave. And it's on the emotional CPR website. And he talks about how psychosis is an attempt to solve a problem, the symptoms of psychosis. And he says, psychiatrists and gives medications and he says, this is going to buy you some time, it's not going to solve your problems. And that's a great way of looking at it. And then you talked about how only a person and the people around them can solve once problems, and that we all have an inner healer. And I think for me that our inner healer is our own voice. And I think by doing this self dialogue, I've been activating my inner healer. Because if I would just believe the mainstream paradigm, I would actually be using my own voice against me by saying their words to me in my voice in my head, and that would limit me. And he said that it's most important to give people options to move towards what they feel is going to help them and I agree and that's why I would like the option to come off my meds yet there's not really a system in place to make that easier for people to do. And to go with that, I think that pushing people away from who they are at a young age through education, and training people to think that X, Y, Z is gonna make them happy and make every single person happy is the thing that precipitates suppose mental illness symptoms in the first place. So I still think even just helping people to avoid the system, or come out of the system is still not even the root of it. And I won't talk about the route now, but and he also talked about the importance of restoring a sense of self, and meaning. And I think that's super important. And that's why I feel like in earlier videos, I talked quite a bit about making meaning out of the process. Instead of it being a meaningless mental illness, if it has some kind of meaning in the process. Well, that alone will give me hope to feel that there's some kind of meaning in the process itself, even if I haven't yet connected to a greater meaning of my life. Because if I just think, Oh, this is meaningless, suffering, and this is going to affect me my whole life, that's going to give no hope at all. And that's part of what I don't agree with in the system either. And Dr. Fisher talked about how the system robs people of hope, nother thing he talked about was that he had a doctor who said that with each psychotic experience, that he improved, so Dr. Fisher went through stuff himself and his doctor each time he had an episode said, you're getting better. Whereas there is the general thing going around where every time you have an episode, you are going to get worse and worse and worse. And in my case, it hasn't been true either. I've had five episodes, and I'm, I'm not any worse than I was, before it started even any mentioned how in other countries, sometimes they'll say like, Oh, it was a bad spirit, now it's gone. And people actually recover a lot better in developing countries, because they don't have this long term chronic story happening with all this medication. I rather think, oh, that was just a bad spirit. All the bad spirits are coming again, rather than Oh, my gosh, my brain is deteriorating and getting destroyed, and I'm going to be a vegetable for the rest of my life. And that's the thing too, is that I feel people can actually come out of this all better than ever. That is yet to be shown for a lot of people. Most people get trapped with the medication. And there are no tapering strategies and protocols just naturally in place for when a person's ready to, to be done with that. So people get stuck on it for long periods of time. And I think it's important to to make it mysterious, it is a mystery. And making meaning out of the process and saying, well, it happened because this happened in my life. And it means I'm not supposed to do this anymore in my life, I'm gonna do this instead. And moving towards a healthier lifestyle design as well as a healthier life, well, then that's a meaningful process. But generally, it's funneled into a worse and worse fate over time. And he said, it's important for people to just be with us through the process and witnessed us and be unconditionally loving. And I've talked about that, too. He said, being with somebody in a fearless way, I would say a love more way. I wonder why we need the light of a loving eye. I feel like if a person is able to hold that state of unconditional love, they're able to shine that light on a person who's in lower and lower states of consciousness. And they're able to rise up through the levels of consciousness to the level of unconditional love, as opposed to being in those awful low states of consciousness and someone comes along with fear, and then cuts them off to psych ward, for instance, versus someone being in those states and someone able to be able to bear witness to that, even if it is a bit strange, and allow them to sort of flower up into those higher levels till they're in that place where they're able to be integrated to some degree. And actually, that could just be part of the placebo effect thing I was talking about how, how it's the gesture. They talk about how you know a person receiving a pill often does the same. If If The sugar pill often does the same as the actual treatment, because they feel they believe they're going to get better. I feel like that loving witnesses needed to actually hold for the person that they are going to get better. So that person with the loving eyes is able to be a placebo in a way, because in those awful states of consciousness, one feels like one's never gonna get through it. And it feels so painful and scary and terrorizing. It's almost like a mother, cradling their child after having a terrible, terrible, terrible nightmare, it takes a little while for the child to calm down. For the love of the mom is enough. So if a person is able to be that placebo, where the opposite is almost when somebody comes at a person who's in an altered state with fear, they are in a way a no cebo, they make it worse. And in those states of consciousness, since one doesn't have one's ego walls protection up, however it is that the person is approached is how they're going to actually be received. And that is going to change their outcome substantially, because they're in an innocent state, innocent in a way that they don't have those normal protections up of the ego. So they're more at the mercy of, of a person who is approaching them. So most people aren't approached with love, they're approached with, with fear with force. And then people act in kind because their level of consciousness is perceiving that and they they can't rationally not be afraid, they don't realize that somebody is trying to help them. And that doesn't really seem like the most amazing form of help. The placebo of loving, I've not really tried to do anything in particular, but create safe space. I have an example of this, I have a video that I posted, but I haven't shared yet. of one of the times I was in psychosis, big time. Probably one of the scariest times for sure. We need to change our approach to each other. That's why I want to bring ecpr here because people will perhaps be approached with more unconditional love. And he also talked about how relationships are most important in recovery. And I definitely agree with that. And he talked about how he created the national Empowerment Center and its people first before pills. And he talked about ecpr and how he's very grateful for the people from Mental Health First Aid for developing Mental Health First Aid because it made people with lived experience so angry that they developed ecpr made quite a few videos today, and I kind of want to keep going because tomorrow, it'll probably be really noisy in here from the traffic because it's pretty quiet right now because of the snow. I just read an article by Steve pavlina. And he was talking about blaming others as opposed to blaming one's own internal mental or emotional capacities are sort of relevant with what I'm going through with my job because I don't feel like I can focus on it or I don't feel motivated and I don't think it's my fault. I think that It's not right for me it's right for somebody. I'm just not seeing myself as faulty for not being able to do it. So yeah, I would blame the external on that one for sure. I feel like math consciousness is an act of compassion, to disconnect us from our programming to see that we're beyond our programming. And so consciousness can travel away from the body to show us a larger perspective.
